SUMMARY:AARMS Industrial Problem Solving Workshop 2021
DESCRIPTION:The Atlantic Association for Research in the Mathematical Sciences (AARMS) will host its third Industrial Problem Solving Workshop (IPSW) in a purely online format from from July 26 to August 6 \nAbout IPSWs\n\nThe main goals of an IPSW are to build connections between researchers in industry\, non-profit organizations\, and academia.  Organizations based in Atlantic Canada and elsewhere present problems related to their interests\, and participants will break into teams to explore solutions to these problems.  The problems come from a variety of subject areas\, but all are designed to be approachable by students and postdocs with backgrounds in pure mathematics\, modelling\, scientific computing\, computer science\, or data analysis.  Each problem group will be led by one or more university faculty members with expertise relevant to the technical challenge at hand\, but participants with a wide range of interests and expertise are welcome.  Over the course of the workshop\, problem groups will work collaboratively to explore possible solution strategies to the technical challenges and propose longer-term research directions\, as well as make connections to a larger group of companies and academic researchers with similar interests. \n\n\n\n\n\nEvent format\n\nThis year’s IPSW will be a little bit different from previous versions: it is two weeks in duration and convened exclusively online.  Problem solving teams are invited to use AARMS video-conferencing resources to schedule their own problem solving sessions during the course of the workshop.  It is expected that many people will participate on a part-time basis.  We will plan to organize several optional live events during the course of the workshop aimed at networking and career-oriented skills training. \n\n\n\n\n\nPrizes\n\n\nNBIF Award for best problem solving pitch ($500 shared amongst student/postdoc presenters)\nSpringboard Atlantic Award for most valuable student/postdoc problem solver ($500 for one student)\nAARMS Award for best solution ($2000 shared amongst student/postdoc members of the winning team)\nCANSSI Atlantic prize for the most effective use of statistics in problem solving ($200 for one student)\n\n\n\n\n\n\nImportant dates\n\n\nJuly 21\, 2021: Registration deadline\nJuly 23\, 2021: Prerecorded problem presentations from industry and non-academic partners available online\nJuly 26\, 2021: Live Q&A panel from industrial and non-academic representatives\nJuly 26-30\, 2021: Groups meet online to discuss problem solving strategies\nJuly 30\, 2021: Mid-workshop progress presentations\nAugust 3-6\, 2021: Groups meet online to discuss problem solving strategies\nAugust 6\, 2021: Final presentation of problem solutions
